Because if you have advanced at all or garnered special favor from a boss you\u2019re intimate with, that\u2019s problematic in a workplace,\u201d co-host Sara Haines said, adding, \u201cShe\u2019s very qualified, but now that that\u2019s released, how do you ever discern the intimacy of a relationship with your professional skills and job? I think it\u2019s a problem with optics and fairness in a company.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hostin agreed that fairness was the key word, noting that former NBC anchor Katie Couric had written about the <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/joined-at-the-hip-jeff-zuckers-lover-was-former-comms-director-for-andrew-cuomo\/\">relationship<\/a> and said that it made her uncomfortable even though everyone seemed to know about it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow you have someone like Allison Gollust who is saying, I\u2019m going to stay here. She started out as a publicist \u2013 senior publicist and now she\u2019s the executive vice president at CNN,\u201d Hostin continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou attribute that to her relationship with Zucker?\u201d co-host Joy Behar asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, it could be interpreted that way, right? It could be interpreted that she got those promotions to be second in command because of the relationship,\u201d Hostin continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do you know that?\u201d Behar pressed. \u201cMaybe she\u2019s highly qualified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the appearance of impropriety. I think if I were still working at CNN and I was one of her direct reports, I would think she lacked judgment. I would be uncomfortable that she broke so many of those rules, and I would start questioning her leadership. I don\u2019t think she should stay,\u201d Hostin pushed back.<\/p>\n<p>Guest co-host Tara Setmayer weighed in as well, saying that while there had been an evolution of sorts when it came to accepting interoffice consensual relationships, there were still problems when there was a perceived imbalance of power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it\u2019s the boss and someone who is junior to you, and then it takes away from the women who are qualified. Maybe she is great at her job. I don\u2019t know, but when you have \u2014 it makes you second guess whether the woman deserves to be there or not, and everyone is going to side-eye her and say, you got there because you slept with the boss,\u201d Setmayer said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s not fair to the women who may have had genuine relationships where that wasn\u2019t the case and they deserve to be there, and then, you know, it takes away from their accomplishments. I think it\u2019s messy because of the power dynamic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They went on to discuss the possibility that if the couple had disclosed the relationship earlier, CNN might have moved to make sure that Gollust did not report directly to Zucker \u2014 a point they agreed would have eliminated some of the concerns that promotions were not solely based on qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs women, don\u2019t we want other women to be held to the same standards that we hold men?\u201d Hostin asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, absolutely,\u201d Setmayer agreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJeff Zucker has to go. Why does Allison get to keep her job when she also had an incredible indiscretion and an incredible lack of judgment there?\u201d Hostin concluded.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
